Did you know that, using an Instant Pot, you can cook pasta and a sauce together, saving both cooking and cleanup time? In this easy recipe—a favorite of ours for an easy meatless meal—we’ve used penne, but garganelli, ziti or any other pasta with a similar shape would work just as well.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbs. kosher salt
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. (500 g) dried penne
  • 1 can (28 oz./875 g) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1/2 cup (1/2 oz./15 g) whole fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup (1 oz./30 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cups (6 oz./180 g) grated fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions:

In an Instant Pot® set to Sauté, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes and few grind of black pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the penne, tomatoes, basil and 2 cups (16 fl. oz./500 ml) water. Stir to combine.

Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to Sealing. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.

When the pressure cooking is complete, let the steam release naturally for about 15 minutes, then turn the valve to Venting to release any residual steam. Carefully remove the lid, stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.

Divide the pasta among individual bowls, top with the mozzarella, garnish with basil and serve. Serves 6.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Sergio! I made this EXACTLY to this receipt. I threw it down the garbage disposal. I will use the one I already have - much better! I wanted to try this just to see if the recipe was up to par with the company name. It isn’t.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great recipe to have on hand Everything came out great. I started by browning Italian sausage meat on the saute setting and then did everything else according to the directions. Will be making this again. One of those great recipes you can improvise based on taste buds and what you have on hand. Made this for my family of 6 and had leftovers for lunch the next day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Company-worthy! Super easy to make and very good. I made a half recipe and it was excellent. Definitely a keeper. Would be good served with Italian sausage or even chicken.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Another Instant Pot Fail I adore WS recipes but I will never understand the fuss over the instant pot. Followed the recipe precisely and the pasta was pure mush. The flavor was great. I've tried the IP 6 times now and nothing has come out well. Fortunately I bought mine at Williams Sonoma so I can trade it in for a quality product like All-Clad or Le Creuset!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious! Just tried this recipe today and will definitely make the pasta again. Followed the recipe exactly as it is and everything came out perfect. Pasta was slightly al dente and spicy which is how the family loves it.
